Book in Advance and Save

Make your train journeys more budget-friendly by booking in advance when cheap train tickets are at their most affordable, especially the 'Advance' type fares.

At Trainsplit, we strongly advise booking ahead to secure the best discounts – travellers can enjoy savings of up to 80% by planning in advance. Cheap train tickets, including Advance fares, are typically released anything UP TO 12 weeks before the travel date, although occasionally they become available later, so it's wise to check regularly for the best available prices.

While cheap advance fares might still be available for booking a day before travel, their prices tend to increase the longer you wait. There's also a risk of them selling out before you get the chance to grab a great deal.

Why leave it to chance? Choose a future date and time, book cheap train tickets in advance with Trainsplit, and embark on your journey without breaking the bank.
